Hey Guys, first of all thanks for the help in picking out my parts and for the advice given. Heres how it turned out....
Everything went as smooth as I could have hoped. I actually had all the wires zip-tied and everything completely together before testing to see if it actually worked but thankfully it all worked perfectly and posted first try with windows 7 installing flawlesly
Everything is running great (Crysis + natural mod + max detail= ) but my memory is being read from the X70 mobo as 1333 when its infact 1600 and at 1.6v. I read this being an issue that just needed to be manually set in the BIOS.
I poked around the BIOS last night and and found the setting to make it register as 1600, but didnt understand what else to change (timings/voltage).....so of course it wouldn't luanch windows. Another odd thing is that cpuz shows my memory as 2013 (forget the exact number) or higher than 1600, wich Im assuming is what it can be overclocked to?
Either way, any info you need to help me set up the ram correctly let me know and I will provide. Its the only thing left for me do and Ill be satisfied. Not worried about overclocking yet as the speed right now is light years faster than Im used to. Thanks again for all your Help!
